it was more a symbol of greater u.s./m u.s./mexican cooperation and i'm sure pena nieto wants that to continue and to even improve. i think he will also ask president obama, though, that the u.s./mexican relationship should not just be restricted to drugs and security. that there are other very important issues whether those are economic ties, et cetera, or immigration reform which becomes more likely or less unlikely than before the election. so i think the main point pena nieto will try to get across to president obama will be no more just drugs. let's talk about other things, too, and perhaps not only -- no longer place drugs at the top of the agenda. >> and mexico's economy has actually been turning a corner, has it not? >> it's been doing better, the last few years. we had a very rough year in 2009 like the entire world did. >> sure. >> since then we've been doing more, better and better, the mexican economy is growing at 3.5% to 4%. doing better than brazil, by the way, the last couple of years. most people think brazil i

joining me now the economics correspondent for the national journal and u.s. economics editor for the economist. gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me. i should sell tickets to this. there's so much brain power here. as you saw, a lot to get through. i want to go through a few scenarios. let's go through the first scenario which is actually falling off the cliff. what type of effect would that have for the economy? i'll start with you, jim? >> if if we fall off the cliff and stay off, it's absolutely going to push us back into another recession because we are going to see the spending cuts and the tax increases take a big bite in fiscal policy from our gdp growth and we're not in a great place to start with. so if we fall off and they can't come to it a deal later, are right away it's probably not terrible but the longer it persists, the chances of another recession. >> and europe does not want to see that, i presume. >> i think you've actually had a preview of what's going to happen. every time there has been a sign of flexibility in the preliminary cha
